(2) Northwestern, Eagle, Oak, A&A, KOMET Gumball Machine #17001 Locks, Keys, HOUSING, Nuts 1/4 Thread

I needed this for my A&A candy machine,it fits perfectly and works fine!

Had a vintage gumbl machine we wanted to give a friend of the family but it was missing the locking mechanism. After doing some research we determined this was the piece that was missing and it fit perfectly. It went over very well with the children and now they can use it as a candy dispenser and a piggy bank!

I assumed my machine required a 1/4" thread lock but when the lock arrived I realized it was 5/16. I was disappointed but I was able to drill out some f the thread area and retap for the 5/16 bolt. When I tried several times to tighten the lock on the machine bolt the key bent slightly and it was hard to tighten down all the way. After several attempts to fix the alignment I got the lock to work. Fortunately this does not require opening often so It should be fine. The price and delivery was disappointing, spoiled by Prime shipping. Also I only need one lock so the limited option of 2 locks was more expensive and a waist for me.

Perfect replacement, easy install, but was more pricey than other options. My only gripe was with price and that I couldn't buy just one (came with set of two). Overall, I got what I needed.

I like that they are so easy to install. I just thought they are a little hard to open with keys. Not so smooth.

About these for a candy machine they did not fit when trying to return them to get new ones I selected the option to have a mailing label mailed to me $1 was withdrawed from my account for it but I never received a mailing label and I'm stuck with a product that I have no use for do not recommend this product
